Chapter 9 – The Creek
When the women finally reached the creek they instruct Joshua to keep guard but to not look, and as a motivation Elizabeth reaches up and places a quick kiss on his cheek as a thank you. The two women take the girl into the creek and begin helping her bathe. When they are completed the girl is given time to dry and change into the fresh clothes. The women are return to Joshua and Elizabeth takes time to observe the woman.
The girl has a split lip and cut on the side of her head, and visible bruises on her neck. These all paired in comparison to her looks. She had soft honey skin, and dark black hair, and brown eyes. The woman was beautiful. Joshua looks down at Elizabeth and smiles.
"What's your name honey?" Elizabeth asks the girl.
"My name is Akira." She tells them, "I know that this is short notice but I have nowhere else to go and you all have been so kind to me, may I stay with you?"
Emma looks at Elizabeth who nods her head, "of course you can stay with us." Emma tells the girl who hugs her. The two of them leading the way back to the house.
"We will be right there!" Joshua calls after them, Emma turning and nodding at them.
"Joshua what are yo…," Elizabeth began but was cut off by Joshua's lips on hers.
Elizabeth could not help the moan that escaped her lips. Joshua's lips continue their sweet assault on her mouth and she just can't get enough. She runs her hands through the hair on the back of his head, as he runs his tongue over her soft lips begging for entry. Elizabeth opens her mouth to him and the two begin a battle for dominance which he eventually wins.
When they pull away, the two begin panting trying to get the air back into their lungs. Joshua can't help the smile that forms on his mouth and brings her back to him ready to kiss her again. The two can't get enough of one another, and Joshua picks her up from the ground, his mouth never leaving hers. He carries the two to a nearby tree where he slams her back into it, grinding their hips together. Elizabeth is embarrassed by the cries of pleasure she is shouting at him but, not enough to stop.
Suddenly Joshua stops, and places his head on her forehead. The two breathing deeply. Elizabeth relaxes her hands and places them on his shoulders. Joshua looks up at her, adoration in his eyes.
"I want this so bad," he tells her, "I want you Elizabeth but, I need to do this right…"
Elizabeth looks at him confused.
Josh grins, "I don't think you would want me to take you up against a tree in plain sight in the earshot of your sister in law know would you?" Elizabeth quickly understands moving her legs from his waist and sliding back towards the ground. Josh makes a low sound deep in his throat when her body slides down his own. When she is safely on the ground her moves her chin to look up at him.
"I have never thought you more beautiful than in that moment, helping that girl, and I just couldn't wait another moment…. In case Teddy came to interrupt us again." Elizabeth can't help the laugh that escapes her. Joshua looks down smiling giving her lips another quick kiss before grabbing her hand and walking with her back to the others.
